Žalmy 124

1 Píseň stupňů, Davidova. Byť Hospodina s námi nebylo, rciž nyní, Izraeli,

A Song of Degrees. If it had not been that the Lord was among us, let Israel now say;

2 Byť Hospodina s námi nebylo, když lidé povstali proti nám:

if it had not been that the Lord was among us, when men rose up against us;

3 Tehdáž by nás byli za živa sehltili v rozpálení hněvu svého proti nám;

verily they would have swallowed us up alive, when their wrath was kindled against us:

4 Tehdáž by nás byly přikvačily vody, proud zachvátil by byl duši naši;

verily the water would have drowned us, our soul would have gone under the torrent.

5 Tehdáž zachvátily by byly duši naši ty vody zduté.

Yea, our soul would have gone under the overwhelming water.

6 Požehnaný Hospodin, kterýž nás nevydal v loupež zubům jejich.

Blessed be the Lord, who has not given us for a prey to their teeth.

7 Duše naše jako ptáče znikla osídla ptáčníků; osídlo se ztrhalo, i vynikli jsme.

Our soul has been delivered as a sparrow from the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are delivered.

8 Pomoc naše jest ve jménu Hospodinovu, kterýž učinil nebe i zemi.

Our help is in the name of the Lord, who made heaven and earth.
